Hi vinitha, 

                    In my visualforce page more than one multipicklists are there.How to find these multipicklists and automatically how to display those picklists values  as checkboxes.

Note:Not single field

You got to use 2 main elements here - 

1. Describe calls(they are free in Summer '14) - Get the options for required mutipicklist fields. Refer to picklist field describe methods

Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> m = Schema.getGlobalDescribe() ;
Schema.SObjectType s = m.get('YOUR OBJECT') ;
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = s.getDescribe() ;

// Get all the fields 
Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fields = r.fields.getMap() ;

// Can now retrieve a particular field and get additional properties
Schema.SObjectField f = fields.get('YOUR PICKLIST FIELD' ) ;
Schema.DescribeFieldResult r2 = f.getDescribe() ;
System.debug( 'OPTIONS '+r2.getPicklistValues() ) ;

// Collect r2.getPicklistValues() in list of select options and bind it with apex:repeat

2. apex:repeat - Use necessary repeats to iterate over no. of multipicklist fields and their options values.

Hi ,
         This is my code help me....

page:
----------
<apex:repeat value="{!listObjectFields}" var="fieldAPIName">
             <apex:selectCheckboxes value="{!checkboxSelections}" layout="PageDirection">
    <apex:selectOptions value="{!MyCheckboxes}"/>
</apex:selectCheckboxes>
               <apex:inputField value="{!sObjectToBind[fieldAPIName]}"/>
           </apex:repeat>

Controller:
-------------
public class DynaFieldSavePageCls {
// List<selectOption> options = new List<selectOption>();
public String selcheckboxString;
  private Map<String, String> fieldValueLabels = new Map<String, String>();

   private Map<String, Map<String,String>> fieldpicklists = new Map<String, Map<String,String>>();
  public List<SelectOption> options{get;set;}
     public list<selectOption> getMyCheckboxes(){

      string objectname ='rajesh__MForm__c';

list<SelectOption> options = new list<SelectOption>();

    Schema.sObjectType objType = sObjectToBind.getSObjectType();
  
      Schema.DescribeSObjectResult objDescribe = objType.getDescribe();
     
    map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = objDescribe.fields.getMap();
  

    for(Schema.SObjectField field : fieldMap.values())
    {

      Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = field.getDescribe();
    
        if(fieldResult.getType() == Schema.DisplayType.MultiPickList) {
      
Schema.Picklistentry[] values = fieldResult.getPickListValues();

Map<String, String> picklists = new Map<String, String>();

for(Schema.Picklistentry val: values){
picklists.put(val.getLabel(), val.getValue());

fieldpicklists.put(fieldResult.getName(), picklists);
  options.add(new SelectOption(val.getValue(), val.getLabel()));
}
     
   }
  
}
return options;

}


   public  List<String> checkboxSelections {get;set;}
 
  public void doSave()
{
if( sObjectToBind != null )
  insert sObjectToBind;
}

  
    public sObject sObjectToBind {get;set;}
    public List<String> listObjectFields {get;set;}
  
      public String strtemp;
  
      
   public DynaFieldSavePageCls()
{

     string objectname ='rajesh__MForm__c';

    listObjectFields =  new List<String>();
    Map<String , Schema.SObjectType> globalDescription = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
    Schema.sObjectType sObjType = globalDescription.get(objectname);

    //take care of the sequence of following 5 statements

    sObjectToBind = sObjType.newSObject();
    Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r1 = sObjType.getDescribe();
 
    List<User> lstUser = [ SELECT Id FROM User WHERE Username = 'rajesh060708@gmail.com' ];
if( sObjectToBind != null && lstUser != null && !lstUser.isEmpty() )
  sObjectToBind.put('OwnerId', lstUser[0].Id);

       Map<String , Schema.SObjectField> mapFieldList = r1.fields.getMap();
    Integer i = 0;
    for(Schema.SObjectField field : mapFieldList.values())
    {
  
        Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = field.getDescribe();
        if(fieldResult.isAccessible() && fieldResult.isUpdateable())
        {
            listObjectFields.add(fieldResult.getName());
        }
    }     
}
